A Black Pencil Skirt! One of the timeless possessions a woman can own.

Yes, if you want to instantly sculpt your waist, look slimmer, enhance those curves and look well groomed, stock up your staple with a coveted Pencil Skirt.

Over the years, we have seen many trends and then we have also seen timeless styles. But no matter what when and how, the later will always have my heart. A pencil skirt is a perfect piece every woman should own as a wardrobe essential for that touch of elegance, sophistication and glam. Pencil skirts can be worn day and night, from casual to formal, and even parties.

This age-old style or rather ‘timeless’ trend has been there forever and is worn effortlessly by women of all body types. It might have started as an office ‘must-have’, but this enduring sheath really hasn’t limited itself to 9 to 5. Don’t believe me? Watch as I put this basic apparel to test and style it out in 6 different ways- from work wear to quirky fashion events to casual day wear with my girlies and to date-nights and to late-nights. Trust me, you will be covered everyday of this week.

However, before I carve my looks, I would like to highlight a few key pointers for wearing it well and multiplying your wardrobe with a single PENCIL SKIRT.

♥ Boost your finest features: If your bottom part is a concern, sticking to a solid colour pencil skirt is your best bet, especially black. Color your top with bold patterns, texture, mixing it up to build that illusion of curves.

♥ Dare to wear: Be adventurous, be bold and style new permutations. Mixed colours, crop-tops and folded / knotted shirts. This is a great way to show a little skin with that high wasted cover. And a high wasted pencil skirt is always flattering as it creates an impression of long legs, making you sexier.

♥ Take it easy: The look and feel of your pencil skirt should be smooth and easy. Especially when standing up, as bumps will show it is too tight. In that case, up your size and make it worth the stare.

♥ Slim it down: Good fit is important. Solids are important. Length is important. Also, Colour blocking is awesome with a pencil skirt to express your attitude. However, make sure that the darker shade is applied on the areas of your body which you are looking to slim down.

♥ Wear it in the Day: Wearing a basic colour pencil skirt (solid) can help you in any setting, whether a casual day, everyday meetings and even those last minute happy hours. Make sure you tuck your blouse / top in to emphasise your waist and define your outfit.

You will be amazed to see how easy, basic and wearable this Black Pencil Skirt is in various styles.

♥ Look 1: This bow-tie and pencil skirt was perfect for my daily official meetings and is easy to carry from 9 to 5. It gives me the verve to be sleek and chic, even at work.

♥ Look 2: This look was styled to make my pastel colour pump shirt look sensual, yet crisp for that formal and informal kinda day. Yes, it suited all off them.

♥ Look 3:I wore this for my girl’s night out! Big, Bold, Beautiful and SEXY! I must say, it got me the right attention and woo. There was black and white and gold and red and statement; perfect ingredients for my night out.

♥ Look 4: I wore this day to night for a fashion event and an evening out with my girls, making it fun and flirty and quirky.

♥ Look 5: This was positioned for a casual day look. I wanted that effortless basic and chic look for my daily wear. However pumping some colour with favourite Quirk Box staple clutch, really made it appeal well.

♥ Look 6: A gold glittery glam night out is something I live for and crave for. This look helped me satiate my hunger for that perfect spicy club night. Party On!

In the end, it just doesn’t get better than this! Its effortlessly classy and elegant, its feminine, so modern yet timeless, its sexy and my favourite; so much that its intoxicating! So get the look and get classy! I mean, toxic!!!

Love thyself,

Sincerely, Su!

Did we even realize how this year started with so many new hopes, ideas and ambitions, we welcomed the New Year, full of things that have never been. We were prepared for new chapters in our life and we closed, ended and tossed some in the sea. We chose and we chose to give away our love, have a broken heart, give up and then hang on. Time healed what reasons never did. We chose and we chose, again to let go, we chose dignity, and we chose to forgive others and ourselves. And then wonders happened! Isn’t life all about that, anyway?

Now we are bidding October a sweet goodbye (with a French kiss), but as long as we are breathing, in our eyes, we are just beginning new love!

Talking about October, I have so much love for this month!! This is due to several reasons, which mainly include a lot of “celebrations”. Its starting festive, its parties, its weddings and was my birthday month! So as this month has given a start to so many celebrations, I try and keep things organized in advance. My mind is blown with so many beautiful outfits, SHOES, jewellery and accessories out there. I want it all (Oh, yeah!).

But most importantly, I have a ‘Shoe – Story’ to tell.

I came across this completely quintessential Shoes designer – Supriya Amin and her brand – The Shoe Shi Co. I am head-over-sparkly-shoes in love with these completely gorgeous and shoppable wedding (festive) footwear they make. From the comfort of how they are hand crafted to the glamour they add to my Indian wear says “WoW” out loud. I always want to have something pretty peeking out of my long tasselled anarkalis or long dresses or beautifully swaying saris at the weddings, specially to show off attractively done nails. I love finding one-of-a-kind pieces like this and The Shoe Shi Co made it happen for me. I would say that craftsmanship of the Indians is showcased here.

They have a varied collection of many striking designs with different patterns, colours, fabrics and shapes. They had one for every occasion that I could just pick – wear – flaunt! They also customise one according to your whims and fancies. They are well made and cushioned, giving me that extra lil height without compromising comfort. I am totally crushing over how these gold, silver and all colours shine at me, and suddenly they all were just perfectly matching my outfits. The best part, they can be worn day to night – long after the wedding.

A complete mix of classic elegance, glitter, and hand made shine and goodness. It was simplicity well defined with feminism. Total love!

And then, a woman with good shoes can never be ugly; remember?!

P.S. Say ‘Hello’ to the wedding season with a perfect pair from The Shoe Shi Co. What are you waiting for; place your personal orders with them today for a pair for every occasion!! I already have!!

Love thyself,

Sincerely, Su!
